[Discuss-gnuradio] GRC on Debian

[Alex DEKKER]

Anyone using GRC on Debian testing? I've build it from git but it won't run:

$ gnuradio-companion
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/gnuradio-companion", line 58, in <module>
    from gnuradio.grc.python.Platform import Platform
  File 
"/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gnuradio/grc/python/Platform.py", line

    from .. base.Platform import Platform as _Platform
  File 
"/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gnuradio/grc/base/Platform.py", 
line 22, in <module>
    from .. base import ParseXML, odict
  File 
"/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gnuradio/grc/base/ParseXML.py", 
line 20, in <module>
    from lxml import etree
  File "lxml.etree.pyx", line 67, in init lxml.etree 
(src/lxml/lxml.etree.c:159915)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/io.py", line 60, in <module>
    import _io
TypeError: type '_io._IOBase' participates in gc and is a base type but 
has inappropriate tp_free slot
Segmentation fault


I can see someone else had this problem as they've pastebinned the same 
error but can't find a resolution for this. I've built and run gqrx 
[which is full of gnuradio goodness] on the same machine without issue 
so it's probably a Python problem.
